Terminal Configuration Options
There are three (3) ways to configure a new terminal. The table below lists each of the three methods
for terminal network setup, as well as information on which situations to which each method best
applies.

Yes, if:
a
1 Terminal doesn't have
application software on it.
OR
2 The default B S P or
application s oftware that
come s on the terminal
need s to be updated or
replaced with a

No, if:
1 The terminal has BSP or
application software on it.
AND
2 The B S P or application
s oftware on it doe s n't

a.* The Discovery Tool does not necessarily need to be used for software updating. The terminal command menus or
the terminal's web server can be used, but the terminal will need to be rebooted in order to run the software update
again.
During Software Update
stage of terminal start-up,
with a computer. When there are a
number of terminals in
varying physical or
geographic locations
(but on the same LAN),
the DCT can set them
up quickly and
efficiently.
The administrator must
remember that the FN
button needs to be
pressed at each
terminal so there is
adequate time to
perform setup. It will
either be a two-person
task (with one person
on-site to relay the
status of the terminal to
the admin), or the admin
will need to be near the
terminal.
Terminal Web
Server Yes, if DCT was not used to
configure the terminal in the
Software Update Stage.
No, if DCT was used to
configure the terminal during
the Software Update Stage. After terminal application
has started, from a web
browser. The web server is the
fastest and most user-
friendly way to setup
terminals - as long as an
application is already
present.
Terminal
Command
Menus Yes, if DCT was not used to
configure the terminal in the
Software Update Stage.
No, if DCT was used to
configure the terminal during
the Software Update Stage. After terminal application
has started, using the
terminal's keypad. If the DCT is not
desired, and the web
server is not convenient,
the command menus
can be used (similar to
F-Series network
setup).
